$NRG slipped to a loss in 1Q17 from a profit last year, due to lower revenue. Net loss was $203MM or $0.52 per share compared to a profit of $47MM or $0.24 per share a year ago. Revenue dropped to $2.76Bil from $3.23Bil.

$NRG said advisory fees for 1Q17 was $25MM. The exact amount of
fees for 2017 will depend on the outcome of the BRC process and certain other
issues but currently the company has estimated it to be under $50MM.

$NRG had milder weather during 1Q17 and wholesale prices were
higher QoQ. This naturally compresses gross margin. The company has good
momentum in customer growth and retention. Retail remains strong. Although
there was some compression due to weather and customer mix, $NRG believes it is
strong and can maintain margins.
